Pattern Notes
The Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet is made in three different sizes. Although the finished dimensions vary, all three pumpkins are designed to work together as one decorative set.
For this tutorial, follow the medium-size instructions. Keep your tension consistent throughout the project because changes in tension can affect the final width and height of the pumpkin.
The pumpkin is shaped after the main crocheted piece has been completed. Stuff the pumpkin gradually rather than adding all the filling at once. This allows you to control the shape and create an even, rounded body.
Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet: Step-By-Step Process
Foundation Chain
Begin by making a foundation chain suitable for the medium pumpkin. The foundation should contain 18 chains.
The first two chains act as the turning chain and do not count as a double crochet stitch.
Row 1
1. Work 1 double crochet (dc) into the third chain from the hook.
2. Continue working 1 double crochet across the remaining 15 chains.
3. When you reach the end of the row, you should have 16 double crochet stitches.
The first row forms the foundation for the rectangular pumpkin body.
Row 2
1. Chain 2 to create the turning chain.
2. Turn your work.
3. Work 1 double crochet through the back loop only (dc blo) in each of the 16 stitches across.
4. You should have 16 stitches at the end of the row.
Working the stitches through the back loop creates the ridged texture that gives the finished pumpkin its distinctive crocheted appearance.
Rows 3 to 15
1. Chain 2 and turn your work.
2. Work 1 double crochet through the back loop only (dc blo) in each of the 16 stitches across.
3. Repeat this row until you have completed approximately 15 rows in total.
4. Make sure you finish on an odd-numbered row.
For the medium Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet pumpkin, the finished rectangular panel should be approximately 15.5 × 7.25 inches before shaping.
Keep your tension consistent throughout the rows. The back-loop-only stitches create horizontal ridges that will become the pumpkin’s textured sections once the rectangle is gathered and stuffed.
Shape the Pumpkin Body
Once the rectangular panel is complete, it is time to join and shape it into the pumpkin.
Step 1: Join the Short Edges
Fold the rectangle in half, bringing the two short edges together.
Work slip stitches through the corresponding stitches along the two short edges, joining them from one end to the other.
This creates a tube that will form the main body of the pumpkin.
Step 2: Fasten Off
Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail approximately 8 inches long.
This long tail will be used to gather and close one end of the pumpkin.
Step 3: Gather the First Open End
1. Thread the yarn tail onto a darning needle.
2. Insert the needle in and out of the stitches around the open edge, keeping the yarn close to the top edge.
3. Continue working around the entire opening.
4. Pull the yarn taut as you go to draw the opening closed.
5. If a small gap remains, make a few stitches back and forth across the opening to secure it.
6. Weave in the yarn end securely.
The opening should now be closed tightly enough to hold the stuffing inside.
Step 4: Turn and Stuff the Pumpkin
Turn the pumpkin body right side out.
Fill the pumpkin with fiberfill or your preferred stuffing material. Add the stuffing gradually and distribute it evenly throughout the body.
The amount of stuffing determines how full and plump your Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet pumpkin will look. Add more stuffing for a fuller pumpkin or use less for a softer, slightly flatter shape.
Step 5: Close the Remaining End
Once the pumpkin has been stuffed to your desired fullness, use the same gathering technique to close the remaining open end.
1. Thread a suitable yarn tail onto a darning needle.
2. Weave the needle in and out around the open edge.
3. Pull the yarn taut to gather the opening.
4. Continue pulling until the opening is completely closed.
5. Secure the yarn with a few stitches.
6. Weave in the remaining end.
Your medium pumpkin body is now complete.
Create the Pumpkin Stalk
The Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet also includes a small crocheted stalk to finish the top of the pumpkin.
Foundation Chain
Make a slip knot, leaving a yarn tail approximately 4 inches long, and chain 8.
Row 1
1. Work 1 double crochet (dc) into the third chain from the hook.
2. Continue working 1 double crochet across the remaining 5 chains.
3. You should have 6 double crochet stitches at the end of the row.
Row 2
1. Chain 2.
2. Turn your work.
3. Work 1 double crochet into each of the 6 stitches across.
Fold and Join the Stalk
1. Fold the crocheted rectangle in half, bringing the two long edges together.
2. Join the edges by working slip stitches through the corresponding stitches from one end to the other.
3. Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail approximately 4 inches long.
Attach the Pumpkin Stalk
Use the yarn tails from the stalk to sew it securely to the center of the top of the crochet pumpkin.
1. Position the stalk at the top center of the pumpkin.
2. Thread one yarn tail onto a darning needle.
3. Sew through the base of the stalk and into the pumpkin body several times to secure it.
4. Repeat with the second yarn tail if necessary.
5. Weave in all remaining ends.
Adjust the stalk so it sits upright and centered on the pumpkin.
Finished Medium Pumpkin
Your medium Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet pumpkin is now complete. The finished pumpkin should measure approximately 5 × 3.25 inches.
To create the complete Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet, repeat the same general construction for the small and large pumpkins, adjusting the foundation and number of rows to achieve their respective finished sizes.
The three finished pumpkins can be made in different Halloween and fall colors such as pumpkin orange, rust, mustard, burgundy, brown, cream, dark green, and black. Arrange the small, medium, and large pumpkins together to create a coordinated seasonal display.
Three Pumpkin Sizes
The finished trio includes three pumpkins that can be arranged from smallest to largest.
Small
The small pumpkin measures approximately 10 × 6 inches flat and 4 × 2.75 inches finished.
This size works well as an accent pumpkin and can be placed beside the larger pumpkins without taking up much space.
Medium
The medium pumpkin measures approximately 15.5 × 7.25 inches flat and 5 × 3.25 inches finished.
This is the size explained in the step-by-step instructions above and works as the central pumpkin in the trio.
Large
The large pumpkin measures approximately 22 × 8 inches flat and 6.5 × 3.75 inches finished.
The large version creates a strong focal point and pairs naturally with the small and medium pumpkins.
Together, these three sizes create the complete Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet arrangement.
Customization Ideas
Classic Fall Trio
Use pumpkin orange, burnt orange, and rust to create a warm autumn arrangement. Add brown stems to all three pumpkins for a traditional finish.
Halloween Trio
Combine bright orange with black and deep purple accents. Dark stems can also give the pumpkins a stronger Halloween appearance.
Rustic Fall Trio
Try muted shades such as cream, mustard, olive green, rust, and brown. These colors work especially well with farmhouse and rustic décor.
Mixed Color Pumpkins
Make each pumpkin in a different fall shade while keeping the design consistent. This creates visual variety without making the trio look mismatched.
Where to Use Your Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet
There are many ways to display your Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet. Arrange the three pumpkins together on a coffee table, shelf, mantel, tiered tray, or dining table.
The trio can also be combined with crochet leaves, pinecones, candles, fall flowers, and other seasonal decorations to create a larger autumn centerpiece.
For Halloween, place the pumpkins near other black and orange decorations for a coordinated seasonal display.
The pumpkins also make thoughtful handmade gifts. Create a complete trio in the recipient’s favorite fall colors or make individual pumpkins to use as small decorative accents.
Care Instructions
Keep your Pumpkin Spice Trio Crochet pumpkins away from excessive moisture and direct heat.
If the yarn becomes dusty, gently clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For washable yarn, follow the care instructions recommended for the specific fiber.
Avoid pulling the grooves or stem too firmly when cleaning or rearranging the pumpkins, as this can affect their shape.
Store the pumpkins in a dry place when they are not being displayed.
